App Process Modeler - Overview
The App Process Modeler is a canvas space that enables users to create Business Functions for a particular project.
It enables the users to effectively consolidate and group all visual elements that pertain to a function/role in a particular sequence.
What is a Business Function?
A business function consists of structured activities executed in a predetermined sequence by users (or systems) in their given roles.
The App Process Modeler provides a Canvas to model and build business functions along with all the encompassing activities that make up the business functions. The Business functions provide a graphical view of how a business task is carried out.
Why do we need a Business Function?
In an organization, Business Functions helps to perform operations effectively in order to implement its vision & objectives. Different sections, departments, or groups in an organization can define and build their individual "Business Functions" to achieve their goals.
How to create a new Business Function?
To create a new business function, click on + Business Function button on the Project Homepage.
A pop-up will be displayed on the screen asking information about the Business Function.
The business function is given an appropriate name and description. This information is mandatory.
A Business Function can either be created from scratch or from an SAP ABAP Program.
This document displays a series of steps for creating Business Functions from Scratch.
Refer the Modernization document for understanding how to create Business Functions from SAP ABAP.
Adding a Role to the Business Function
Once the "create from Scratch" option is chosen, the user is redirected to the App Process Modeler canvas and prompted to create/select a new Role.
In the popup, a list of roles are displayed as a dropdown list with a search bar.
The user can either 1) select the existing role and click the Add Role button, or 2) Create a New Role by clicking the New Role button.
If the user wishes to Add a new role, + New Role button is clicked.
In the popup, a new role is created by entering the Name and Description for the role and clicking the Create button.
Once added, the role is displayed on the drop-down list and can be added to the App Process Modeler canvas.
